Hey All, I went fishing this weekend. Caught some kings, (a couple fatties!), a couple skates, and Sat night produced a nice ray. We did have a one nice hit on Sat. I took my buddy out for the 1st time. While the reel was screaming he thought he would tighten the drag to get “the fish to stop running”, as he put it. Snap! I think it’s a lesson he won’t forget. I got a nice hit early Sunday morning, set the hook, … it ran for about 10 seconds and then silence. When I pulled it in it still had bait and hook, so not sure what happened there. No skeeters or flies on Saturday or Sunady, I think it was the slight breeze from the East. Sunday was straight Hot.

I did have one disappointing item I thought I would mention. Sat morning around 4 am ish, I pulled onto a very hazy dark beach. I just happened to pull within 15 yards of an unattended bonfire. Not only did someone leave it burning, but I picked up 29 Natural Ice beer cans from around it and in the surf. After I put the fire out, I also picked 7 bottles out of the ash. What is wrong with people?

Sorry for the rant. Overall, it was a beautiful sunny weekend of camping and fishing. Then again, when is it ever bad? It was good to feel some pullage and catch some fish.
